Tata Nexon EV Update: 40.5 kWh Battery Removed, Options Explained
Tata Motors has refined its Nexon EV lineup by discontinuing the 40.5 kWh battery pack option, leaving customers with two choices: the 30 kWh and 45 kWh variants. This strategic move simplifies the offerings while maintaining a balance between affordability and long-range performance. With the removal of the mid-tier option, buyers will now have to decide between the entry-level variant, best suited for city commutes, or the top-end model designed for extended journeys. Here’s a detailed look at the current lineup, performance figures, and what this change means for potential buyers.
Tata Nexon EV Lineup Reshuffled
The Nexon EV had previously been available in three battery capacities—30 kWh, 40.5 kWh, and 45 kWh—offering a range of choices based on driving needs. The now-discontinued 40.5 kWh variant filled the gap between the base and the long-range models, providing a balance of affordability and range. It delivered a claimed MIDC range of 390 km, making it a viable option for those who needed more than the 30 kWh variant’s 275 km range but didn’t require the full 489 km offered by the 45 kWh model.
With the 40.5 kWh option no longer available, Tata Motors has streamlined its EV range, which could make purchasing decisions simpler for customers. The revised lineup now consists of the following:
The Tata Nexon EV remains competitively priced, with the base 30 kWh model starting at Rs 12.49 lakh (ex-showroom) and the top-spec 45 kWh variant going up to Rs 17.19 lakh (ex-showroom). The 30 kWh model is available in multiple trims, including Creative+, Fearless, Fearless+, Fearless+S, and Empowered. Meanwhile, the 45 kWh option is offered in Creative, Fearless, Empowered, Empowered+, and the Red Dark edition.
Despite the removal of the mid-tier battery, Tata Motors ensures that buyers still have access to a wide range of features across these trims, catering to diverse customer needs.
